/// Highest testing safety & usability.*
The AscTec Firefly is the most advanced UAV of the AscTec Research Line. The hexacopter is redundant and offers the researcher vibration damped slots for various payloads. High quality production standards ensure that our products are reliable and safe.
/// Essential flight system characteristics.
The inertial guidance system provides highest precision through advanced sensor components and two ARM7 microprocessors.
The control unit offers highest flexibility. Latest interfaces simplify the implementation of your own c-code algorithms.
The Low Level Processor (LLP) ensures a highly stable flight behavior of your flight system: The LLP is the data controller, processes all sensor data and performs the data fusion of all relevant information with an updat rate of 1 kHz!
The High Level Processor (HLP) controls your flight system according to your C-code: Take control over the flight system with your control algorithms.
Safe testing thanks to the Safety Switch function: While testing your control commands and maneuvers, you can simply switch back into safe mode and the proven AscTec AutoPilot takes over.
/// Key features of the flying robot.
Made in Germany. Innovation and manufacturing from Bavaria. We develop and produce in-house – essential hard- and software is made by Ascending Technologies.
Maximum performance & safety. The redundant 6-rotor propulsion system is very robust and guarantees a stable flight.
Minimum of weight & size. Highest precision and controllability.
Transportable fully assembled and ready to receive your code.
Low-noise, emission-free and environmentally friendly operation. The energy-efficient engines work with only 100 Watt per motor.
Great reliability: The AscTec Firefly is proven and tested as a useful research tool in challenging conditions.
